Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 1A CHARTER TRAVEL IS PERMITTED WHERE A COMMERCIAL ALTERNATIVE DOES NOT EXIST. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN CI STAFF MUST TRAVEL TO REMOTE REGIONS THAT ARE NOT PRACTICABLY ACCESSIBLE BY COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION, THE USE OF CHARTERED CARRIERS MAY BE PERMITTED. CHARTER TRAVEL IS ALSO PERMITTED IN CASES WHERE CI STAFF MUST ACCOMPANY KEY DONORS, MEMBERS OF THE PRESS, OR DIGNITARIES IN THE COURSE OF CI BUSINESS. EXCEPTIONS TO THE CHARTER TRAVEL POLICY ARE ALLOWABLE ONLY WITH PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. CHARTER TRAVEL THAT INCLUDES A US OR FOREIGN BASED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL MUST ALSO BE REVIEWED IN ADVANCE BY THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. BOATS CHARTERED FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OR SIMILAR PROJECT-RELATED PURPOSES ARE NOT CONSIDERED CHARTERED TRAVEL FOR PURPOSES OF THIS POLICY. GENERALLY, ALL AIR TRAVEL MUST BE BY COACH CLASS USING THE MOST DIRECT COST-EFFECTIVE FARE AVAILABLE. CI WILL NOT REIMBURSE FIRST CLASS TRAVEL, EXCEPT IN HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL CASES SUCH AS MEDICAL EMERGENCY OR NECESSITY (THE LATTER MUST BE PREAPPROVED BY THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER), OR IN CASES WHERE THE AIRLINE ONLY PROVIDES TWO CLASSES OF SERVICE AND THE TRAVEL OTHERWISE MEETS THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE BUSINESS TRAVEL POLICY. IN SOME CASES, THE CEO MAY TRAVEL FIRST CLASS DUE TO THE FREQUENCY AND LENGTH OF THE TRIPS REQUIRED. AS IS STANDARD FOR INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, CI PROVIDES HOUSING ALLOWANCES TO CERTAIN STAFF WHEN TEMPORARILY ASSIGNING THEM TO WORK IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OR PERMANENT RESIDENCE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ALLOWANCE IS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE AND COMFORTABLE HOUSING IN THE HOST LOCATION IN LINE WITH HOST COUNTRY'S HOUSING OPTIONS. DURING THE YEAR, MARK ERDMANN RECEIVED $24,000 IN HOUSING ALLOWANCE. THIS ALLOWANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE AMOUNTS UNDER SCHEDULE J, PART II. CI ALSO REIMBURSES THESE STAFF TO VISIT THEIR HOME COUNTRY ONCE ANNUALLY. CONSISTENT WITH THIS POLICY, CI PROVIDED MARK ERDMANN TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000, INCLUDED IN THE AMOUNTS SHOWN UNDER SCHEDULE J, PART II. FOR INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNEES, CI ALSO PAYS LOCAL TAX OBLIGATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE EMPLOYEES DUE IN THEIR HOST COUNTRY. INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNEES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAXES DUE IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY. IN 2021, CI PAID HOST TAX OBLIGATIONS TO EXPATRIATE STAFF MEMBERS, SEBASTIAN TROENG AND MARK ERDMANN, IN THE AMOUNTS OF $219,529 AND $116,002, RESPECTIVELY. THESE TAX PAYMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE AMOUNTS UNDER SCHEDULE J, PART II AS OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION.
PART I, LINE 4B CI IMPLEMENTED A NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP) UNDER SECTION 457(F), WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE CI COMPENSATION AND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. UNDER THIS PLAN, SANJAYAN MUTTULINGAM, CEO, RECEIVED $100,000 IN DEFERRED COMPENSATION THIS YEAR. EACH COMPANY CONTRIBUTION PLUS INTEREST ARE SUBJECT TO A THREE-YEAR CLIFF VESTING SCHEDULE.
PART I, LINE 7 CI'S VARIABLE PAY PLAN SEEKS TO DRIVE EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE BY LINKING A PORTION OF THEIR COMPENSATION TO MEETING ESTABLISHED ACHIEVEMENT MEASURES. CI DETERMINES EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION BASED ON ANNUAL MARKET ANALYSIS PERFORMED BY A FIRM SPECIALIZING IN NON-PROFIT COMPENSATION. BASE SALARIES ARE SET NET OF ANTICIPATED VARIABLE PAY. EXECUTIVES RECEIVE THE BALANCE OF THEIR COMPENSATION, IN THE FORM OF VARIABLE PAY, BASED UPON THE ORGANIZATION'S DOCUMENTED PERFORMANCE AGAINST ITS APPROVED ANNUAL GOALS, AS WELL AS THEIR INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE AGAINST THEIR APPROVED DELIVERABLES. A COMMITTEE OF CI'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEWS AND APPROVES EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION LEVELS INCLUDING ANNUAL VARIABLE PAY.
